Two 17-year-old boys and a 16-year-old girl have been charged with misdemeanors after a nude photo was shared among several students, according to Oak Park police.

The girl took a nude photo of herself two years ago and sent it to one of the boys, police said. He recently forwarded the photo to another boy, according to police. A parent contacted school officials, police said.

Police charged all three with distributing harmful materials of a minor, a misdemeanor.

“Based on the investigation, we felt those we the appropriate charges,” said Cmdr. LaDon Reynolds.

OPRF spokeswoman Kay Foran said it is believed as many as four people saw the photo.
